Been hearing a lot about this movie. Talk To Me has been out there on the festival circuit for a little while and will land on the big screen through A24 later this year. The movie initially debuted on screens at the Sundance Film Festival in January before hitting the Berlinale a month later.
Directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, the film will come to screens in the summer, with the US getting a street date already: July 28th.
We reviewed it at Sundance and gave it a positive review. Our own Kat Hughes said:
What initially begins as Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, meets Flatliners, morphs into a more serious spin on Evil Dead. The demonic creations share an uncanny resemblance to Raimi’s deadites, but are far more wretched in behaviour. The longer Talk to Me is on, the more sombre it becomes as it investigates the borderline between life and death. The comparison to Flatiners is followed through in the tone and visuals, the Philippou’s conjuring all manners of nightmarish apparitions. The toxicity of the female friendship ensures that the teen audience will have people to relate to, whilst the older viewers are left with Miranda Otto’s single mother to bond with. Although only a supporting player, her character is an interesting inclusion; adults often fall by the wayside in teen-lead horror fiction.
